The world runs on power — not just the power of oil or gas, but the hidden power of rare earth minerals. These 17 elements form the backbone of our modern world: from smartphones and electric vehicles to advanced weapons systems and clean energy technologies. Whoever controls them controls the future.

And right now, that future is being held hostage by Communist China.

For decades, weak U.S. leadership allowed Beijing to dominate this critical sector. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) didn’t just corner the market — they built the market around themselves. Today, they control over 80% of global rare earth production and nearly the entire refining capacity. That means America’s tech, defense, and energy industries depend on a hostile regime for their lifeline materials.

That’s not just bad economics — that’s a national security disaster.

But President Donald J. Trump saw this threat long before anyone else dared to say it out loud. While the global elites were busy selling out America’s future, Trump was already moving to rebuild our industrial base, open new mines, and bring rare earth production back home. He understood something simple and profound:

“If we don’t control our resources, we don’t control our destiny.”

Trump’s America First policy wasn’t just about steel and cars — it was about strategic independence. He unleashed domestic exploration projects, reduced red tape for miners, and pushed for alliances with trusted nations like Australia and Canada to secure new supply chains free from Chinese manipulation.

The Biden administration talks about “green energy,” but what good is a green future if it’s Made in China? Every electric car battery, every wind turbine, every missile guidance system depends on rare earths — and that means every future American innovation does, too.

If we allow the CCP to keep its stranglehold, we’re surrendering our technological and military edge. If we take back control — as Trump demanded — we secure our prosperity and our freedom for generations.

This isn’t just an economic fight. It’s a fight for survival in the 21st century. China plays the long game — cornering resources, buying influence, and using rare earths as weapons. Trump plays the American game — competition, independence, and victory.

The path forward is clear: mine American soil, refine with American hands, and build for American families. No more outsourcing our future to foreign powers.

President Trump’s vision made that possible once — and it will again. Because the true wealth of a nation isn’t found in the ground, it’s found in the will to protect it.

America has the resources. America has the technology. All we need is the leadership.

And with Trump, we have it.
